TWINE WALK-OFF CAPS WILD COMEBACK WIN

Justin Twine's pinch-hit walk-off single capped a frenetic comeback Saturday for the Jumbo Shrimp to beat Mobile 7-6. Jacksonville trailed 5-0 going to the bottom of the seventh. Bryson Brigman and Anfernee Seymour each collected RBI singles to get the Jumbo Shrimp on the board. In the eighth, J.C. Millan and B.J. Lopez each added RBI base hits to draw Jacksonville within one. After Brendon Sanger's RBI single in the top of the ninth made it 6-4, the Jumbo Shrimp mounted one last comeback. Brigman lifted a sacrifice fly and then Millan lined an RBI single to tie the game. Twine then followed with his pinch-hit single to win it 7-6 for Jacksonville.

UP AND COMING

Jacksonville trailed 5-0 after six innings on Saturday to Mobile. The Jumbo Shrimp responded with their second five-run rally in the span of one week (May 25 at

Mississippi) to come-from-behind and beat the BayBears 7-6. The victory marked the first time all season the Jumbo Shrimp have earned consecutive series wins. It also lifted Jacksonville from the Southern Division cellar for the first time since April 16, a span of 45 days. The Jumbo Shrimp have won six of their last nine games heading into their set at Pensacola.

ERROR 404: NOT FOUND

After making five errors in their series with Mississippi, Jacksonville played a miscue-free series against Mobile - the first time all year the Jumbo Shrimp have recorded five straight error-free contests. Jacksonville's errorless streak stands at 47 innings heading into play on Sunday. The club also boasts a .717 defensive efficiency on the season, a figure that would rank ninth in Major League Baseball.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

Jumbo Shrimp catchers have been a bright spot defensively all season for the club. Santiago Chavez's 19 men caught stealing ranks first in all of Double-A and tied for fifth in Minor League Baseball. Additionally, as a team, the Jumbo Shrimp have gunned down 32 potential base stealers, second at the Double-A level and seventh out of 120 teams in MiLB. Jacksonville's 43.8 percent caught stealing rate is the third-best such mark of any Double-A club.

HEAD START

In the first 20 games of the season, Jacksonville starting pitchers compiled a 3-13 record and 5.44 ERA over 91.0 innings. Jumbo Shrimp lid-lifters combined for 49 walks (4.8 BB/9), 89 strikeouts (8.8 K/9) and 91 hits allowed (9.0 H/9). However, the Jumbo Shrimp have seen some stellar starting pitching over the last 35 games. During this stretch, Jacksonville starters have combined for a 2.52 ERA (58 ER in 207.0 IP). Jumbo Shrimp starters have walked 57 (2.5 BB/9), fanned 164 (7.1 K/9) and yielded 165 hits (7.2 H/9).

CONNECT FOUR

Jacksonville knocked off Mobile 7-6 on Saturday, marking the eighth time in the last 13 games that the Jumbo Shrimp have eclipsed the four-run marker. For a team that has thrived on strong pitching throughout the season, the four-run barrier has been critical to meet for the Jumbo Shrimp to find success. When Jacksonville scores at least four runs in a game, the club is 18-3. However, the Jumbo Shrimp have plated three runs or fewer in 34 of their 55 contests, and the club has posted just a 4-30 record in those affairs. Jacksonville has now won their last 16 games when tallying at least four runs in a contest.

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY

Jacksonville outfielder Brian Miller has notched a hit in 13 games in a row, the longest active streak in Double-A. During this run, the Raleigh, N.C., native is 20-for-51, batting .392 with six RBIs and five walks to post a .446 on-base percentage. On the season, the former UNC Tar Heel is pulling the ball at a career-high 45.0 percent clip while going the opposite way a career-low 21.2 percent of the time, the sixth-lowest such mark of the 118 Southern League hitters with at least 70 plate appearances this year.

SHRIMP SKEWERS

Jacksonville has plated at least six runs in three straight games for the first time this season. When the Jumbo Shrimp plate at least six tallies in a contest, the club has posted a 9-1 record... Four of the five affairs in Jacksonville's set with Mobile were decided by three runs or fewer, including three by just one tally... The Jumbo Shrimp have recorded a 7-18 mark away from the First Coast, the third-worst road record in Double-A.
